Spatial autocorrelation analysis of gene frequency surfaces is validated using simulations. Findings clarify how neighborhood size, migration, and selection influence spatial patterns, supporting natural gene frequency surface analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Spatial analysis
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Spatial autocorrelation analysis is crucial for interpreting gene frequency surfaces.
  • Understanding the influence of population structure and evolutionary forces is key.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test assumptions for spatial autocorrelation analysis of gene frequency surfaces.
  • To investigate the effects of isolation-by-distance, migration, and selection using simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Simulations of Wright's isolation-by-distance model.
  • Superimposing migration and selection onto simulated gene frequency surfaces.
  • Analysis of spatial correlograms and principal components analysis.

Main Results:

  • Neighborhood size initially enhances, then reduces spatial autocorrelation.
  • Migration impacts surfaces and correlograms with substantial gene frequency differentials.
  • Selection gradients produce clinal correlograms; other selection patterns are less distinct.
  • Sequential migration can be disaggregated into component vectors using principal components analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Spatial autocorrelation analysis is robust under various conditions.
  • Simulations support the inference structure for analyzing natural gene frequency surfaces.
  • Methods can disaggregate complex migration patterns in empirical data.
